Eater Boston reported last week that the new hotel going up in Southie just blocks from the South End line will have a rooftop bar, but don’t start making plans just yet because the hotel is not expected to open until early 2019.
Stop by and check out this great space and let me know what you think of Explorateur. I’ll reserve a proper review for a future dinner in their restaurant.
